Students and recent graduates

Student participation in IIC has always been welcomed, and we are delighted to continue to offer a new ways for this to take place.

Student posters

Building on the success of this new venture in 2010’s Istanbul Congress, this session provides a peer-reviewed platform for research and work on conservation projects that is being undertaken by students and recent graduates. This is a new opportunity for those who are starting out in the conservation arena to take part in conservation’s international showcase. As well as the display of posters, there will be a programmed session giving delegates the opportunity to speak to poster authors.
